If you could re-energize, ease stress, and boost your immune system in just minutes, would you do it? Of course! Who wouldn’t? In this week’s video I offer some simple ideas like taking laugh breaks. Laughter can help you achieve better health. During these laughter exercises it is also a great help to use key words like; fun, joy, happiness. Can you think of any others?

Join me as we talk about three simple yet proven ways to laugh more:

Laugh at yourself in the mirror

Surround yourself with people who make you laugh

Watch funny movies, YouTube videos and TV programs

With researchers now saying laughter can assist in balancing all components of the immune system, this can help fight off disease. Studies show that children laugh 300-400 times a day. Adults laugh only about 20 times a day… I have seen this in my Coaching practice. Most people don’t know how to laugh! Let’s stop being so serious..

I challenge you to take some time to laugh today! YOU will feel better! And, watch the video for some great guffaws and tips to get you giggling!

During the recent holiday season, many of us had time off work or adjusted work schedules so we could celebrate, see family, relax and have fun. My best friend who is 13 years old told me her time off school was all about staying up late, watching movies, family and getting completely out of her routine. I too seemed to drop my regular schedule of activities. I stopped working out in the morning, stayed up later, went out to eat more often and ate things I typically do not eat. Everything was off schedule and I had a lot of fun.

Now the holidays are over and most of us have returned to our routines of work, hectic schedules and life as it was before the holidays. Yet those who see me for Coaching sessions, Readings and Reiki, as well as several Reiki students have been asking the same question, “Now what do I do?” Some have made resolutions or stated the desire to experience change in their personal lives. I have plans for change in my own life so as I considered this question I asked, “What is the next step?”

When I look at my Coaching Sessions what am I really doing? I work together with others to bring accountability to their goals. I inspire and help light the fires of motivation. I make suggestions such as writing down exactly what is wanted, focusing and the action steps necessary. I offer suggestions and ideas which lead to connecting to others who might play a role in helping. For me personally, I take these same actions. I see what I want to create and I know there is someone special to help when the help is needed.

This year is about self realization – becoming the person you want to be. It is wise to recognize that we do not have do this alone. There are others to help us along the way. Personally, I refuse stay with the same routines I was in. There is someone out there that is going to help me with my visions of doing webinars and Blog Radio. I am going to do something different this year!

What leads people to their spiritual path? I often think of the synchronicity which took place in my life that completely changed my course. My Sister-in-law talked to me about Reiki. At the time I thought it was all “voo-doo” stuff and I had no interest in it. Then I began to see a massage therapist and even though I loved the benefits of massage I began to get sensitive when she touched me. Fibromyalgia was one of my physical challenges and just the mere touch from others was irritating and uncomfortable. When I explained this to her, my massage therapist suggested I allow her to do Reiki with me. Although I felt cautious because of my Catholic background I allowed her to do a session. I was amazed that I could feel waves of energy and then I knew there had to be something to this Reiki stuff.

I went on to become a Reiki Master. I recognized myself as an Empath and because I could feel so strongly I was able to help others. I practiced Reiki at a local Farmer’s Market where someone asked me if I ever considered doing Spiritual Counseling. I returned to schooling and brought Spiritual Counseling into my Reiki Sessions. I returned for more schooling to learn about energy. As my training and skills expanded I became interested in opening a Wellness Center. I had a great desire to help others who, like myself, were looking for that “something more” in life. I opened my Lightworkers Gifts and Energy Healing Center. In the ten years I have walked my path I have learned much about many modalities in the metaphysical community. More than that, I have learned about myself – who I am and how I can help others. It is almost as though I am paying forward the guidance and love that several others offered to me as I began this journey.

I often hear others tell how they too feel as though synchronicity played a role when they were yearning for something unknown in their life. The stories are filled with enlightenment, self knowing, new talents, greater creativity and a desire to help others as they were helped. These stories are also often filled with joy, laughter and deep appreciation.

So how to get started? From what I observe and hear, people are still asking the age old question, “Who am I and why am I here?” When we begin to search, and because we have asked the question, our Higher Self, our God/Goddess or Spirit guides us to an amazing journey. In my opinion we are always on our path. When we resonate with others who are asking the same question, when we allow enlightenment and begin to have fun with this eye opening experience, our path appears before us! Would you like to be crystal clear on what your path is? October’s Special – an hour and a half Coaching Session for $75.00 (Wow! That is $25.00 off!).

Celebrating life is one of the joys we all have the ability to create. Sure, we all hook up on Facebook and we know, in general, how all our friends are doing. However, virtual contact and communication is no replacement for seeing, communicating and fellowshipping in person. Celebrating life with others is healthy! Recent studies show that social interaction boosts health and may be a positive factor in extending a life of health.

I will be celebrating 7 years of success as Lightworkers Gifts and Energy Healing Center. This celebration – a wondrous party – is my gift to you in appreciation for the love and support you have given so freely.

Seven years! The spiritual essence of the 7 is about reflection on the spiritual nature of things; investigating, analyzing and intuiting of inner wisdom. It is about the quest to discover the inner landscape of life in relationship to higher truths. This has been so true when I consider what Lightworkers Gifts brought to the community. It really states what my desires have been, not only for myself but for all those who came into my life during the last 7 years. I feel so blessed with gifts and talents which have a positive impact to those who enter my life!

Coming into the eighth year, I am excited about all the possibilities and opportunities! Spiritually, the number 8 is charged with the responsibility of working with integrity to build a world of the future, aligned with higher consciousness and serving all humankind. At the highest level, the 8 may be one of materializing wealth, following a path of power, achievement and success.

Your gift to me is to come and celebrate the success of Lightworkers Gifts! Come join us for healing, inspiration, presentations and drumming – come and have fun! Party Party!

One of the concerns I often hear from clients is their feeling of emptiness or feeling they are alone. I understand that feeling and have felt it myself. I feel our Higher Self/God and our “Inner Child” are always there with us.

When I discussed this with a client last week I had a renewed realization that my creativity comes from within, from my Inner Child. Using my tools and techniques I create classes, mindful of what I teach and live. I know my spoken word is a powerful and inspiring. I take time with my Inner Child to help center myself with my creativity. What I create is me! I create my next action and consider how it will benefit me and everyone around me.

One of my routines is going within and communing with Spirit and my Inner Child. It confirms I am not alone and they are there to help along with my Angels and guides. In the Shining Wheel, adolescence is symbolized in the South position. Taking quiet time and being in this position helps me focus on my love for my Inner Child. I am accepting of my life, my path and myself because I see through eyes filled with excitement and the possibility of fun. I laugh often and look for ways to have fun.

I love being with children. Taking part in their world is returning to my childhood and seeing everything through a child’s eyes. The simple act of being amazed at a lizard or the color of the sky is allowing my Inner Child to come forth. I believe many adults love bringing out their Inner Child simply because, as children they were not always able to express or be the child.

Your Inner Child is full of fun and excitement and ready to play! I can help you find your Inner Child. When is the last time you ran around the park flying a kite? How long has it been since you walked outside just to look at the flowers, hug a tree or find amazing shapes in the clouds? Connect with and love your Inner Child! You will be surprised at the fun just waiting for you to give the okay! So, watch my video and laugh out loud!
